Aravind Sithamparapillai

Aravind Sithamparapillai is a financial planner whose practice is rooted in curiosity, critical thinking, and first-principles analysis. Rather than approaching investment due diligence as a credentialed analyst or portfolio manager, Aravind brings the lens of a planner determined to understand complex investment proposals well enough to explain — or challenge — them. In a landscape saturated with slick narratives, active management pitches, and opaque alternative strategies, he’s developed a habit of asking the kinds of questions that cut through the noise. Drawing from real-world experiences and conversations with clients, wholesalers, and investment professionals, Aravind will share stories, lessons, and frameworks that have helped him — and can help other planners — discern what’s worth recommending, what’s worth rejecting, and what’s simply too hard to know.
